Having studied at the UW and working as student help in a bio-tech lab where we did transgenetic studies I saw the concern that the scientists had over companies like Monsanto. The problem is not totally the companies. The other half of the problem is patent laws that protect these types of companies. Here's the kicker...Monsanto can "discover" a gene and then patent it. If you use this naturally occuring gene in any of your research you then have to pay royalties to monsanto. A Belgian company I worked for after college was very good at this. The owner of the company would scour the jungles of south america looking for exotic species of plants. He would bring the specimens back to Belgium put pattents on them, send them to his lab in China where he woul multiply them, then ship them to his locations in Belgium and the US to grow them out and sell them. These plants and genetics are naturally occuring. They were not created by human beings, who's intellectual property is it then really?
